Welcome to your Friday edition of The Exercise Doc! | Happy Friday—and welcome! I'm really glad you're here. | In today's newsletter, we're talking about two topics that come up a lot in real life. First, we look at how to enjoy dining out without guilt. Eating at a restaurant should be a pleasure, not a math problem or a source of stress. We'll cover simple, practical ways to enjoy your meal, feel satisfied, and still stay aligned with your health goals—no food shame required. | We're also diving into an important question: can exercise help with depression? We'll talk about what the science shows, why movement can make a real difference in mood and energy, and how even small amounts of activity can help—especially on days when motivation is low. | As always, I've sprinkled in a few tidbits as well—quick, useful insights you can read in a minute and carry with you through the week. | Thanks for spending part of your Friday with me. I hope this edition leaves you feeling informed, encouraged, and a little lighter heading into the weekend. | Doc Mike |

| | | | | Can Exercise Improve Depression? | Exercise is often talked about as a way to lose weight or improve heart health. But one of its most powerful benefits is how it helps the mind. For people living with depression, regular movement can make a real and meaningful difference. In fact, research shows that for some people, exercise can work as well as antidepressant medication, especially for mild to moderate depression. | | |
